BIG BOYS TOYS

FANS OF HEAVY METAL and shiny things had a chance to get up close and per­sonal with some mod­i­fied and clas­sic iron re­cently, when Daim­ler Trucks Bris­bane hosted a Big Boys Toys night in Au­gust.

Cus­tom trucks, cars and bikes glit­tered un­der lights as vis­i­tors took the op­por­tu­nity to en­joy some cus­tom work­man­ship on some of the sparkling ma­chines at the truck deal­er­ship. There was some­thing for ev­ery­one, re­gard­less of how many wheels were in­volved.

Brad Jones of BJR Rac­ing was also in town with one of the team’s V8 Su­per­cars on dis­play. And, of course, if the car was in town, so was the truck that car­ries it. Paul “Stax” Eddy was also on hand babysit­ting the team’s Freight­liner Coronado 114 race­car trans­porter. –

The night pro­vided an op­por­tu­nity for at­ten­dees to have a bite to eat and a beer among some awe­some ma­chin­ery. Photo sup­plied only to be Pretty paint jobs weren’t truck va­ri­ety. found on ve­hi­cles of the Photo sup­plied
